Show hours for christmas day, eve, and new years.

My Holiday light show will run all day Christmas eve, day, and new years.

Gfci Continues to trip in wet weather.

The previous day, I went around making sure all my plugs are taped, and off the ground at least a half inch. What a nightmare. So when my gfi blew, I decided to test each channel, nothing blew, channels 1-16 on, no problems, then I can turn on all the channels fine, by fading them on, if I try to go form off to on, then it trips. So I figured my gfc was being oversensitive, so I unplugged the gfc and plugged it in right to the wall (I have a removable gfc) I was stumped as to why it would not trip with only one channel on at a time.The next dry day I put my gfi back and no problems, so its the rain for sure causing the problem. My show only takes 10 amps max, 2200 mini lights and 25 c9's - so I cant possibly be overloading it.

Welcome...

Thanks for coming to my blog, this light show has been a year long project. I Originally I had a simple light show, that was not to music, I was using a Pre programed light show device those years. (2005, 2006) Last October I found LOR, I wanted to Create and program a LOR show for my house last year, but it was too late. So I have been planning on programming one for this year. (2007) LOR is a Program and Hardware, which run together using a normal computer to enable you to create a light show to music. Programming takes tons of time, you have to go over each light strand for every beat of every song. My show is small compared to what others have done with LOR. My Show will start out with only 2 Songs this year. I hope to add a few more mid December.


- Information about the show

-Tune to 96.3 Fm this is the only way that you will be able to hear the music that goes with the lights. I use a Fm transmitter to respect my neighbors, they would get tired of hearing the same song over and over. So please keep your radios to a low volume, thanks.

-Show hours

5:30 pm- 10:30 pm

-If you have any questions comments or concerns, please contact me at allenaa2000-lights@yahoo.com or add a comment to my blog.

This is a school project too? yes it is....

This is in fact also my Senior Project for school. At Casa Grande High School, each senior is required to pick a subject of interest and write a research paper about that subject. Along with the research project each senior must complete a Physical Project. This can range from Restoring an old car, to Learning how to belly dance. Other past projects include Plays and School beautification projects. One student learned how to weld, and created a new bench for the school. The Physical part of my project is the actual show. My Research paper was about the effects of wireless and Computer over usage. At Casa we are divided into English classes by clusters, I am in the Technical and Industrial Cluster (TIA), therefore my project needed to be related to something industrial or technical, I feel that A light show was the perfect match.

3 days left!

I have finished programming one song. I purchased parts for my mini mega tree. I switched to my XP computer for running the show, my Windows 98se did not cut it, I had some problems with LOR 2.0.4.

Less than one week left....

Well, I have less than 5 days before I plan to have it all up and running. I plan on starting with 2 songs, and I will add some as christmass nears.

I will be bradcasing on 96.5 Fm

Lots more information to come.

Halloween party, with LOR

My friend had asked me to help her decorate for her Halloween party, little did she know what I had planned, Just getting my LOR a month ago, I hadn't really done much with it yet in my busy life, anyways. The show was a simple 1 min long animation sequence that looped, dimming fading, flashing. It really added to the spooky Halloween environment, everyone at the party loved it. I forgot to bring my digital camera that day, so I will have to ask my friend to see if she took any. Just a quick update, and the first real lor "show" I made.

It was rather exciting.

My Christmas Display as part of my school project.

This school year, I am a senior at Casa Grande high school, one fo the projects of the year is the senior project. I have decided that my actual senior project will be my christmas light show display. This school project must be something we are intrested in, something we must spend at least 20 hours working on. Also our project must relate to the english class and our senior report paper. My school this year orginised all of its 2000 students into smaller learning communities, each community puts a twist on the regular classes and geard them to something we may be more intrested in. Me always being intrested in technical things, chose the Industrial and Technical Small Learning Cluster. A lor christmas display works perfectly into all of this. I will be writing more throughout the year, with updates to my show, and school project.

ITS HERE....

I'm so excited, my LOR made it here today, along with the software, and usb connector. All the parts seem to be here.

I will probably assemble it tomorrow, I have some other things I need to do today.

I orderd my LOR!

Its kinda late in the year, but I just orderd it. I cant wait it gets here on the 12 of SEP 2007.

Also, I have the first 30 seconds of one of my musical sequences programed.

Going to order LOR kit and Software

Its that time of year to think about christmas in august... Well for me atleast, its time to get started.

I plan on buying the PC-CTB16PC-COMPLETE, and The starter package with the USB adapter.

Test of lights

I decided to test the lights I have, 1000 pictured, total I currently own 2225. I plugged my old light show box just for fun. A few strings were burned out so It looks like I will have to add more to my alredy long list

Welcome

This is my first post. I will be using blogger to list my ongoing progress on this project over the year. I Hope this ends up being fun, and thanks for stopping by.
